Rumors that Kevin Costner had impregnated a woman on the set of “Yellowstone” arose following reports of conflict between Costner and “Yellowstone” showrunner Taylor Sheridan. Per the Daily Mail, Costner announced that he’d be leaving the show after its fifth season, as he and Sheridan couldn’t agree upon a filming schedule. Us Weekly reported that scheduling delays on the show drove a wedge between Costner and his ex, Christine Baumgartner. Furthermore, Costner and Sheridan disagreed creatively. “Costner just felt like Yellowstone is headed in a direction that was not in line with their initial vision and he was met with criticism, including that he should just stick to acting,” a source told the Daily Mail.
But fans read between the lines of all this drama and speculated that the real reason Costner was leaving “Yellowstone” was because he’d gotten someone on the show pregnant. “I wonder now, if the drama surrounding Kevin Costner and Yellowstone ‘scheduling,’ was due to the rumor of him potentially getting someone on set pregnant? Was he trying to avoid [it] or is there more to it?” one person posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. Another user chimed in, noting, “So it wasn’t [Wesley] Bentley who got a girl pregnant on the Yellowstone set .. it was Costner.”

Per TMZ, those close to Costner called the claims he’d impregnated a woman “total BS” and a representative told the Daily Mail it was “absolutely untrue.” Not that this stopped the gossip.
